The Effect of Cooperative Learning Strategies on Students'
Learning at Chemistry in Jordan
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effect of Cooperative Learning Strategies On 11
th grade Students'
Achievement Chemistry In Jordan, by studying four strategies: the Traditional, Student Teams-Achievement
Divisions (STAD), Jigsaw strategy (JS), & the Integration Strategy ( combines the two STAD & JS).
Specifically, the study tried to answer the question: Does the effect of the Integration Strategy differ from the
other strategies on the students' Achievement?
To answer these question, a sample of (122) 11th
grade female students was chosen from a school, It contained
four groups, each group learned using one of the four strategies that the study investigated, these were
distributed randomly by simple random distribution. To achieve the purpose of this study, an achievement
exam was developed, composed of 20 items, with an alpha Cronbach's Coefficient (0.82). Also a program for
teaching the three strategies was prepared, it contained lessons plans for the chosen units with the titles:

Chemical bonds & Molecules structures, Intermolecular forces between the molecules & the states of matter.
The program was distributed to a panel of specialist to establish its content validity.
After applying the program to the three experimental groups in the school, the data was collected by the
instrument, processed by SPSS. The results of the study have shown the superiority of the three Cooperative
Learning Strategies compared to the Traditional Strategy, and when comparing the strategies of cooperative
learning to each other, they were arranged in the Descending order: the Integration Strategy, Jigsaw strategy,
STAD.
